The Company considers various factors in determining whether each individual security is other-than-temporarily impaired, including- • the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events that may affect its operations or earnings; • the length of time and the extent to which the market value of the security has been below its cost or amortized cost; • general market conditions and industry or sector specific factors and other qualitative factors; • nonpayment by the issuer of its contractually obligated interest and principal payments; and • the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of costs. Fixed-maturity Securities Prior to the sale of one intent-to-sell fixed-maturity security, the Company recognized $38 of impairment loss for this security for the three months ended June 30, 2017. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized $100 of impairment losses related to the sale of two intent-to-sell fixed-maturity securities. At June 30, 2017, two fixed-maturity securities were considered other-than-temporarily impaired due to their credit risk. The Company intends to hold these two fixed-maturity securities until maturity, but does not expect a full recovery of their carrying value. In June 2016, the Company sold one impaired fixed-maturity security that was previously intended to hold until maturity due to uncertainties surrounding the issuer’s announced restructuring plan. Prior to the sale of this security, the remaining $202 of unrealized impairment loss was reclassified from comprehensive income and recognized in total other-than-temporary impairment losses in the Company’s consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recognized $495 of additional impairment loss in the consolidated statement of income, representing $26 of additional loss recorded during the period and the reclassification of $469 previously recorded in other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2016, there was no fixed-maturity security with credit risk issue. The following table presents a rollforward of the cumulative credit losses in other-than-temporary impairments recognized in income from available for sale fixed-maturity securities. 2017 2016 Balance at January 1 $ 475 $ 111 Additional credit impairments on previously impaired securities — 293 Balance at March 31 475 404 Credit impaired security fully disposed of for which there was no prior intent or requirement to sell — (385 ) Reduction due to increase in expected cash flows recognized over the remaining life of the previously impaired security — (19 ) Balance at June 30 $ 475 $ — Equity Securities In determining whether equity securities are other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers its intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for the recovery of cost, the length of time each security has been in an unrealized loss position, the extent of the decline and the near term prospect for recovery. The Company recognized impairment losses of $139 and $340 in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized impairment losses of $290 and $722, respectively.
